What home means to me. Home means laying down on your couch watching t.v with your family. Home means sitting down at the dinner table with your family. Home means snuggling up in your bed with your stuffed animals. But for some people home is under a tree while it's pouring rain outside. Living in just a cold wet sleeping bag with stains on it. Sitting on the ground watching people laugh and say stuff like “go clean yourself” or “get a job”. But they can't clean themselves because they don't have a shower or bath. They can't get a job because on the application you need an address and they don't have an address, then what are they supposed to do? It's just not fair, when you get a job you shouldn't have to put your address because people that are homeless need it the most. We need more homeless shelters and more homes, something needs to be done! I can't even imagine me and my family without a home. Just never take advantage of what you have. I wanted to make this because something needs to be done and you should make one too. Remember every little or big speech $10 gets donated to habitat for humanity.
